Rolls Royce – ‘Spirit of Ecstasy’The ‘Spirit of Ecstasy’ as it is known, is the official hood ornament of Rolls Royce. Although evolved and retractable now, it is still seen on Roll Royce models today. The Spirit of Ecstasy was designed by Charles Robinson Sykes and symbolized the secret love between the model of the mascot, Eleanor Velasco Thornton and the Lord of Beaulieu. It depicts a woman leaning into the wind, with her flowing gown behind her giving the emblem the appearance of an angel with wings. The Spirit of Ecstasy is possibly the most recognizable hood ornament there ever was, with its roots going back to the early 1900s.
